Zilart Missions 1-13
ZM1: After defeating the Shadowlord, go to Norg for a cutscene right as you enter the small town.
========================================
ZM2: Talk to Gilgamesh in Norg at L-8.
========================================
ZM3: Go to Kazham and talk to the Mithra leader, if I'm not mistaken the position is at J-9.
========================================
ZM4: There's a few quests you have to do before you can do this mission. First, go to I-8 in Norg and talk to Magephaud. Give her 3 goldbeastcoins(about 8-10k each) and she'll give you a key that will open a hidden door to reset tonberry hate, everyone needs to do this. Second, you'll need a paintbrush in order to get to Den of Rancor, only 1 person will need this. Go to the Temple of Uggalepih and fight Tonberry Cutter till they drop "a Uggalepih key". Tonberry Cutters can be found a little further in from the entrance.
Third, 4 unlit lanterns must be obtained. It is dropped by Tonberry Maledictors. There are alot of spots to find them, but here's where I camped them. From the main entrance of Temple of Uggalepih, head to J-7 and open the secret door, exit at K-3 to Yhoator Jungle. Go to another entrance at the right side of
K-9 in Yhoator Jungle. Once in the temple, go to H-7. There should be 2-3 Tonberry Maledictors there and I got 1 unlit lantern for every 2-3 kills(I've heard other people say it took them 5 hours to get 4 lanterns, and some even more so I may be just lucky). Each party will need 4 lanterns, or if there's a balanced alliance(meaning each party can fight the bc battle without rearranging members in an alliance), only 4 lanterns is needed for the alliance.
Once you got the Uggalepih key and 4 unlit lanterns, go back to the main entrance and head to F-7 on the first map to get the paintbrush. After that, head to F-11, one of the walls in the middle can be opened with the key from Magephaud, there'll be a tonberry priest that will reset hate for a price. Resetting hate will ensure that the tonberry ability "Everyone's Grudge" won't hurt, so I recommend everyone in the party to pay.
Now exit at F-5 to enter Yhoator Jungle and enter the temple at H-11. Once in the temple, head to I-10 and defeat the Temple Guardian. Make sure to prevent the Temple Guardian from using Meltdown ability by using stun because it can kill the whole party. After you kill the Temple Guardian, the door in front will open. Once it is open, head to J-7 and keep going further. There'll be a room with a bunch of paintings and 2 with just the frame. Go to the frame that you have to face south to, and use the paintbrush. It will take a couple minutes to open the door so I recommend clearing out this room. If you don't want to gain hate by killing tonberries, call for help. Once the door is open run in and zone to Den of Rancor.
Invisible/Sneak everyone in the party and go to E-5. Clear the room and have people with the unlit lanterns touch the Altar of Rancor to get a Rancor Flame. Once that is done, head to I-5 which will go to another map. On the second map, go to E-5. It is recommended to clear this room because you can't light the lanterns while getting hit. Have each person with the Rancor Flame light the four lanterns to open the door.
After zoning to a new area, go inside the door for the BC fight. There are 3 tonberry NMs. Here's the order of fight:
1 - Tonberry Molyb'iton (BLM)
2 - Tonberry Grav'iton (THF)
3 - Tonberry Tungs'iton (SMN) + elemental pet
When the SMN is left, be careful of the special attack. It will summon a random avatar(usually at around 50% HP) and use their special attack so you have to be really really fast in order to cast bar- spells as it takes less than 2 seconds to cast that special attack. Note that the avatar summoned is not related to what type of elemental pet it has, it is completely random. After the fight and cutscene, if you exit the area you'll end up in Temple of Uggalepih, not Den of Rancorr.
========================================
ZM5: Collect 7 light fragments from Cermet Headstones, 4 are NM fights. I recommend at least 2 PT of LV65+ or 1 PT of LV75 to make this easy.
Thunder - Behemoth's Dominion
Go to G-9, clear the area, and have one person touch the stone. Two weapon NMs will appear. It is possible to pull 1 at a time if the person touching the stone has sneak. Pull either one and just kill.
Fire - Ifrit's Cauldron
Enter Ifrit's Cauldron from G-6 in Yhoator Jungle. Sneak/Invisible everyone and head to H-8. After the map change, head to D-12. Then head to J-8. There'll be a Flame Spout before being able to go to J-8, either wait or use an ice cluster. After J-8, go to E-7, then G-7. From here to the exit at Yuhtunga Jungle(C-7), there'll be 2 Flame Spouts, and there may be an NM named Ash Dragon at around G-9. I'm not sure if it aggros through sneak or invisible, but it is possible to stick to the walls and walk past him that way just to be safe. Here's a rundown of getting to Yuhtunga Jungle from
Ifri't Cauldron: G6>H8>D12>J8>E7>G7>C7
After entering Yuhtunga Jungle, go to K-7, the headstone will be at L-6. Touching the headstone will pop 2 monkey NMs. It is possible to pull 1 monkey by sneaking. If you trade a Garnet to the headstone you can get a Monkey Necklace.
Water - Cape Terrigan
Go to F-7 to a cave, then head to H-5 from there. This doesn't show on the map so just hug right all the way from F-7. A Darkstalker NM will pop after touching the headstone. Beware of Dimensional Death as this NM likes to use it. Trade Rain Lily flower to the headstone to get a Flagellant's Rope.
Light - Sanctuary of Zi'Tah
This is by far the hardest NM fight compared to the others. Go to J-9, then I-7(or to make it easier, just hug left from J-9). A flesh type NM will pop and it hits a LV68 PLD for 250, and doubles for 500. So make sure to have everyone heal the tank. This fight is MUCH easier with Ninja and/or Summoner.
The following are non NM fights, so it can be done alone.
Ice - Fei'Yin
Go to G-9 to head downstairs, then head to I-5 to enter the Cloister of Ice, the headstone is right behind the crystal.
Wind - La Theine Plateu
Enter Ordelle's Cave from F-7. Make a left and go to I-6. Then head to H-9. After climbing all the way up, go to H-12 and drop down the hole. Then go to I-11. After the map change, exit at G-10 to La Theine Plateu. The headstone is at G-11.
Earth - Quicksand Caves
Enter Quicksand Caves from West Altepa J-9. Once inside, go to K-6 and drop down the hole and exit to West Altepa. Go to H-8 in West Altepa to find the headstone.
